Topic

After discussing the issue of filling the tires to prevent damage to the front end when using the loader by filling the rear tires. I found out what can get damaged is a broken drive shaft to the front drive wheels. Massey Ferguson has indicated that you must fill the back tires when using a loader. I believe the issue is that when you are digging you can take all the load off the back wheels and lose traction. The front wheels have all the weight and are driven w/o traction assist from the rear wheels which can apparently damage the drive shaft in some conditions. The rear wheel fill keeps traction on the rear wheels to reduce front wheel drive load. I have found out that at 90% fill with CaCl, I add 400 lbs to each of my rear tires. The tires are 13.6X16X12
